   For my sisters and my brothers two.
   A living I might find.
   So it came to me as I wished to be
   For in Philadelphia town
   We built ourselves a living home
   Far away from Castle Browne.
   3
   That dear old place I longed to see,
   Where born I had been,
   Where the soft and gentle breezes blow
   From off the cliffs of Castle Green
   The Kippen rock it nobly stand
   And the water falling down
   And that rock shore
   Where the wild birds roar
   Beside old Castle Browne.
   4
   That Castle too I'd like to view
   Its walls so straight and tall
   Where often in a Summer's day
   I climbed it when a boy
   But now alas those days are gone
